The Leaflet Made a Trip Across to Rosedale (Bateman’S Bay) to See Anne Coutts
T HE L EAFLET --- April 2018 Other news Whilst visiting Canberra in January, Jenny and Wallace Young The Leaflet made a trip across to Rosedale (Bateman’s Bay) to see Anne Coutts. Her late husband, Laurence, was Assistant Minister at No. 1069 Scots’ Church from 1994-96, and many members have fond April 2018 memories of their time amongst us. Late last year Anne had major surgery, but is well on the way to recovery, and sends her greetings to all. Anne Coutts with her rescue dog Charlie William Mackie, grandson of Gordon and Lois Taylor, has recently completed a major project for his Australian Scout Medallion (pictured). William will travel to Sydney in August for the presentation of the award, the highest in Scouting. Well done William! William Mackie with his Australian Scout Medallion project Welcome back to all those who have had holidays in Australia or further afield in recent weeks. As each edition of The Leaflet goes to print we are aware that some of our members are suffering from illness, both in their immediate families or amongst close friends. If you are unable to be with us rest assured that all members of the Scots’ Church family are held in our prayers, and we are just a phone call away if we can help.

Three Conquests of Canaan
ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case. -

The breakthrough to the non-Jewish world with the Gos- pel had largely started at Antioch. And now this group of believers would launch a movement toward Gentiles that would revolutionize Christianity. This event was the beginning of the first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas. -

The Survey of Western Palestine. a General Index
THE SURVEY OF WESTERN PALESTINE. A GENERAL INDEX TO 1. THE MEMOIRS, VOLS. I.-III. 2. THE SPECIAL PAPERS. 3. THE JERUSALEM VOLUME. 4. THE FLORA AND FAUNA OF PALESTINE. 5. THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. AND TO THE ARABIC AND ENGLISH NAME LISTS. COMPILED BY HENRY C. STEWARDSON. 1888 Electronic Edition by Todd Bolen BiblePlaces.com 2005 PREFACE. ITTLE explanation is required of the arrangement followed in this Volume, beyond calling L attention to the division of this Volume into two parts: the first forms a combined Index to the three Volumes of the Memoirs, the Special Papers, the Jerusalem Volume, the Flora and Fauna of Palestine, and the Geological Survey; and the second is an Index to the Arabic and English Name Lists. This division was considered advisable in order to avoid the continual use of reference letters to the Name Lists, which would otherwise have been required. The large number of entries rendered it absolutely necessary to make them as brief as possible; but it is hoped that it will be found that perspicuity has not been sacrificed to brevity. A full explanation of the reference letters used will be found on the first page. The short Hebrew Index at the end of the Volume has been kindly furnished by Dr. W. Aldis Wright. H. C. S. PREFACE TO ELECTRONIC EDITION. ore than a hundred years after the publication of the Survey of Western Palestine, its M continued value is well-known and is evidenced by the recent reprint and librarians’ propensity to store the work in restricted areas of the library. -

North Syrian Mortaria1
NORTH SYRIAN MORTARIA1 (PLATE 73) C LAY mortaria,such a typicalfeature of Romansites in the West (Gaul,Ger- manyand Britain),are not at all commonamong the findsfrom Romanisites in the EasternMediterranean. Here they had been widelyused in Classicaland Hellenistictimes,2 but during the Roman period they seem to havebeen almost entirely supplantedfor culinarypurposes by vesselsof stoneand marble.3 Despite this general trend,however, there exists one classof claymortaria which circulated widely in the East duringthe thirdand early fourth centuries after Christ;this formsthe material for the presentarticle. Amongthe cataloguedfinds from the AthenianAgora excavationsare several piecesof largecoarse mortaria in a distinctivedark brown ware, clearly not of local manufacture.One of these (P 20013) is preservedin a relativelycomplete state (Fig. 1, P1.73, a-b). All sharethe samebasic form: flat base, high flaringwall, and broadslightly downturned rimn (to facilitatehandling) furnished with a shortshallow spout. The averageoverall diameter is about50 cm. On the inside,the floorcurves smoothlyinto the wall; in somecases a smallgroove is presentjust belowthe rim. All are stampedon the rim with the maker'sname or trademarkin Greek,generally consistingof two lines of impressedcharacters within a rectangularframe. In one casethe stampis repeatedat intervalsround the rim;this mayalso have been the case on someof the otherswhich are less well preserved.The wallsare unusuallythick, and the weightof the vesselswhen complete must have been considerable;that of the best-preservedexample may be estimatedat ca. 1112 kg. Most are hard-fired, as befitstheir function,the clay assuminga distinctivedeep chocolate brown color. An orangeor orange-browncolor, with a tendencyto a darkercore, also occurs. Surfacesappear to have beenwet-smoothed. -

The sun, that fountain of life and heart of the world, the moon shining unth a lustre borrowed from his beams, the stars glittering by night in the clear firmament, the air giving health to all things that live and move, the rain and the dew descending from above, the how which compasseth the heavens about with a circle of glory, the voice of thunder and the piercing power of lightning — all these are ready to instruct us in the mysteries of faith.
